JIRA v3.12 Plugins

[Fong Gary]

Hi Team,

Can you please explain the purpose of JIRA Plugins? Is the JIRA_HOME Directories including the Plugins? How to back up those Plugins?

Thanks and regards,
Gary Fong

Whilst this page refers directly to the current cloud offering the principles apply for all versions of JIRA. https://confluence.atlassian.com/cloud/add-ons-and-plugins-744721612.html

As previously stated on other questions v3.12 is no longer actively supported and you should be looking to move to a more recent version to remove all the security risks with running such an old version.

Please refer to https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/backing-up-data-185729581.html for principles of backup and in particular https://confluence.atlassian.com/jira/important-directories-and-files-189891075.html for the different directories and files that should be backed up.
